SUMMARY:Much Ado About Nothing
DESCRIPTION:In February 2002 John Marwick directed the first Shakespeare production to be held in Muritai School yard. Much Ado About Nothing was presented with a little bit of a ‘tango twist’. The play was part of the Wellington Fringe Festival that year. \nThe Cast\nDON PEDRO Laurie Atkinson\nDON JOHN Chris Morey\nCLAUDIO Dan Caddy\nBENEDICK Ashley Bloomfield\nLEONATA Sandra Gillespie\nANTONIO Jerry Duckor\nCONRADE John Marwick\nBORACHIO Reuben Hardie\nFRIAR FRANCIS Trevor Rose\nDOGBERRY Trevor Rose\nVERGES Jerry Duckor\nHERO Holly Robinson\nBEATRICE Rowan Macrae\nMARGARET Yvonne Bishop\nURSULA Anne Manchester \n\n2002 Much Ado About Nothing24 photos\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n\n\nPublicity 2002\nTeasing\, Treachery and the Tango\nFor the first time Eastbourne will host a Fringe Festival play this week when Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe stages Much Ado About Nothing – one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies. \n“It’s got love and deception\, laughter and drama\,” says John Marwick the director. But this production has got a little extra as well. “Tango\,” says John “the passionate and sensual dance of Buenos Aires\, fits this play beautifully.” \nThe play has a masked ball in one scene and ends with another dance. So\, instead of the usual formal dance steps\, the cast have been learning the Tango. \n“I learnt the dance only last year myself” says the director\, “but I’m really hooked.” He says that\, though the play has only had a short summer rehearsal period\, cast members have taken to the Tango enthusiastically. \nThis will be the fifth time that Marwick has directed Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe members in summer Shakespeare. The shows have previously been semi-private productions mounted in Troupe members’ gardens and called Bard in the Yard.  \nThis year will be the Troupe’s first time as part of the Fringe Festival and\, with the prospect of bigger crowds\, they have moved to a larger venue. But\, the production is still outdoors – and still Bard in the Yard since it is in the Muritai schoolyard. \nThe production will be staged completely ‘in the round’ – audience on all sides of the action to give everyone an excellent view. If the weather is unkind the whole production moves inside to the floor of the school hall. \nMany of the cast of 13 have been in previous Bard in the Yard productions or took part in Marwick’s full-scale millennial production of The Winter’s Tale – winner of best play in the 2000 Wellington Theatre Federation Awards. They are joined on this occasion by two musicians who\, with violin and guitar\, will provide the tango music. \nThe play starts at 7.30 pm and runs for about two hours (including one interval) from Sunday 17th to Thursday 21st February at the Muritai Schoolyard\, Muritai Road\, just past the village in Eastbourne \nTickets at $12\, $10 (senior citizens and students)\, and $8 (children) include a complimentary glass of wine and are available from Ticketek\, Eastbourne Hammer Hardware\, and at the door. \n  \nIf you’re planning to go remember to wrap up well – unfortunately\, balmy summer evenings cannot be guaranteed this year !
